Drugs and Alcohol Awareness Sessions.

One of the activities that is a huge success with our young people is the “beer goggle basket ball challenge”. As the name suggests, we play basketball with beer goggles on. A beer goggle is a large eye mask with distorted lenses simulating drunkenness.

Young people thoroughly enjoy gaining awareness of drugs that are around, and we try to do this as interactively as possible. Some young people have great knowledge of drugs and alcohol, some are even able to name more drugs than some of the staff.

We use many positive and diversionary activities including, sobriety tests (with and without the beer goggles), quizzes, talks from former alcoholics and drug users and much more.
